A very special song indeed and a truely underrated 10,000 maniacs classic. I often wonder how more successful they would have been with a different name. Always sounds like "red glass eye" to me!

WOW brings back memories of the last 10,000 Maniacs tour one of the best shows I.ve ever seen 4 encore's I think they payed a fine that night for running after 11pm at Meriweather Post what a night

[djDiagOnfly]

the band's name is absolutely brilliant!

[ranchoboyeros]

adore you

[zigetgoo]

one of the most underrated songs ever

[JDean1953]

10000 Manaics is one of the few groups that appeals to a wide age range of fans. Natalie and the band knew how to write songs that appealed to a wide fan base, young and old. Truly talented artists!

Thanks for your help. Here in Brazil we call NOAH by NOÉ. I did not get the meaning and that's why I have not understood! Sorry for my bad englhish!

[srgaeta2]

Please, I am from Brazil and I would like to know what or who is Noah. Thanks!

Noah is from the Bible, Old Testament. He built the arc that "saved" his own family and animals when the flood came; he sent a dove out after the rain stopped to see if there were dry land anywhere. Eventually, the dove came back with an olive branch in its beak, suggesting that the rains had ended and the water had begun to recede and land was available again.

Beautiful song by a beautiful and gifted artist. I heard this song as a soundtrack to the Phantom of the Opera movie. The lyrics go quite well with the movie.

[kittokino]

Never knew the keyboards were by Natalie. Awsome... she's got the best voice!

[oldphoque]
